Chess

When I originally wrote this book, I intended it to be for the beginning
chess player, regardless of age. The longevity of its availability has proven
that it indeed can raise the level of initial play, and can train you to
have a "chess eye". Enjoy!

This book is one of a kind! My positional play is strong, yet even
though I know my pieces are stronger than my opponents I often cannot find
a way to take advantage of it. This book opened my eyes to all the attacking
themes found in chess. I just played one of my best games ever 2 days ago,
and without this book the spectacular mating attack would have never happened.
If you lack attacking skills in the middle game, this is the best book out
there. Not for beginners, but great for intermediate players.

This is the "GrandMaster" of opening books. I am a Master and I teach chess
for a living. When my students want to learn an opening, or need a one volume
reference for learning new openings, this is the book I recommend to them.
A "MUST" for the Postal player! There is more information and fewer mistakes
in this book, than any opening compendium I have ever seen!

Jeremy Silman is a chess teacher; and this book, along with his excellent
'The Amateur's Mind," cannot be bettered for learning about the game. OK,
so he uses a lot of his own games SO WHAT? You would expect that an
international master would be most familiar with his own experience; Silman
also includes plenty of examples from the games of Fischer, Botvinnik, Karpov
and Petrosian (the last figure perhaps the most unjustly underrated and
misunderstood champion in the game's history). He also includes a list of
recommended further reading, which I have found helpful
